The Villain's Little Sister is Spoiled by the Male Lead-Chapter 194: Marriage Proposal
Chapter 194
Soon after, that Mr. Hua also came over to chat with Song Luokui. Although Song Luokui was surprised internally, she engaged in friendly conversation with him. Despite the significant age differences among everyone, they all shared the same desire to make money.
After the networking event ended, Song Luokui had added several new contacts.
Meanwhile, Chi Yu was in the midst of planning the proposal ceremony. He was keeping a close eye on everything, wanting it to be perfect.
That evening, when he returned to the home he shared with Song Luokui, she was already lounging in her pajamas watching TV. Seeing him come in, she asked, "Have you been very busy lately? It seems like you've been working overtime these past few days."
Chi Yu walked over and kissed her, saying, "I'm sorry, it has been a bit hectic recently. Once this period is over, I'll spend more time with you, okay?"
Song Luokui shook her head, "I'm not asking you to accompany me, I just see how hard you're working. Tomorrow, I'll ask the housekeeper to make you some chicken soup to help you recover."
Chi Yu kissed her again, "Thank you, wifey."
Song Luokui pushed him away, blushing, "We're not married yet, don't call me that." She was shy.
Chi Yu replied, "Alright, baby." After all, it wouldn't be long now.
"Didn't you attend some networking event today? How did it go?" Chi Yu inquired.
Song Luokui answered, "It went well, I added a few people on WeChat."
"Oh, and someone tried to set me up with a boyfriend," Song Luokui poked his cheek, "but I told them I have a fiancé, so they dropped it."
Chi Yu held her tightly, "You're mine."
Song Luokui patted him, "Go wash up and get some rest. Are you hungry? Should I ask the housekeeper to make you something? There's also cake in the fridge."
Chi Yu stood up, "I'm not eating, I'll go take a shower first."
"Okay."
For the next two weeks or so, Chi Yu came home quite late. Song Luokui assumed he was busy and didn't say anything. Plus, her brother hadn't called her recently either.
Song Luosheng: ...It wasn't that he didn't want to call, he was just afraid he might accidentally let slip about not wanting his sister to accept the proposal so easily.
But he couldn't... if their parents found out he leaked the news, he might face a double beating.
On this Saturday, Song Luokui woke up from her warm bed. Chi Yu wasn't there, but she saw an invitation on the nearby table.
Dear Ms. Song Luokui: 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝖊𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪
Your fiancé, Chi Yu, cordially invites you to dinner at XX Restaurant this evening. If you accept the invitation, please send him a heart emoji. If you decline, please give him a kiss.
Your fiancé: Chi Yu
Date: XX/XX/XXXX
Below the invitation was a complete set of evening wear, including shoes. Song Luokui smiled and picked up her phone to send Chi Yu a red heart emoji.
Chi Yu received it quickly. He was currently overseeing the final preparations at the proposal venue. The flowers he had specially ordered from abroad, his most desired blooms, were to cover the entire venue. There were countless flowers, too many to count, worth who knows how many tens of thousands.
After sending the message to Chi Yu, Song Luokui went to freshen up, did some exercise, and had breakfast. Later, someone came to give her a massage and skincare treatment. She had a sumptuous lunch, though Chi Yu wasn't there.
During this busy period for Chi Yu, she thought he was working overtime, so she had the housekeeper prepare some delicious food to be sent to him.
After waking from her afternoon nap, a makeup artist arrived to do Song Luokui's makeup. Then she put on the evening gown and chose some exquisite jewelry. Amidst the admiration of the makeup artist and housekeeper, she got into the chauffeur-driven car and headed to the restaurant Chi Yu had mentioned.
When she arrived, Chi Yu was already waiting at the entrance. He personally opened the car door for her and helped her out. Then, with Song Luokui holding his arm, they entered the restaurant.
Chi Yu had also dressed up for the occasion. Although he looked good without any effort, it was clear that today he had styled his hair with gel and was wearing a pleasant cologne.
Upon entering the restaurant, Song Luokui realized that Chi Yu had rented out the entire place: it was just the two of them.
After sitting down, Song Luokui asked him, "What's the special occasion today?"
Chi Yu replied, "I'm in a good mood today, and I haven't been able to spend much time with you lately, so this is also to make it up to you."
Song Luokui smiled, happy to be constantly on his mind, "I forgive you."
Chi Yu poured her a tiny bit of champagne, "How about a small drink tonight?"
Song Luokui looked at the minuscule amount in the glass, aware of her low alcohol tolerance, "Sure." She picked up the glass and clinked it with Chi Yu's.
Soon after, the band began to play, and the couple enjoyed their meal while listening to the pleasant music.
They dined for an hour in a lovely atmosphere. Afterwards, Chi Yu took her hand and led her to the chauffeur-driven car, "I have another surprise for you."
Song Luokui raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
Chi Yu said, "I feel like one meal isn't enough to make up for my absence. But I hope you'll come with me somewhere."
As it was still early, Song Luokui naturally agreed, "Alright."
The driver headed towards their destination. Song Luokui asked him, "Why so mysterious? Are you planning to sell me off?"
Chi Yu was actually feeling a bit nervous now, but he didn't show it outwardly. He had one hand in his pocket, touching a small box.
They reached their destination in half an hour. Chi Yu led her to the gates of an estate, "We're here, let me help you out of the car."
Chi Yu held Song Luokui's hand as she got out. She was puzzled why they didn't drive directly into the estate. Just then, the grand gates opened, and Song Luokui saw that the path leading to the castle inside was lined with flowers on both sides, with a red carpet laid out in the middle.
Song Luokui looked at Chi Yu. She felt this scene was somewhat familiar, but couldn't quite place it. Chi Yu was also nervous. He held Song Luokui's hand and asked, "Shall we go in?"
Song Luokui nodded, and they walked onto the red carpet. The lights along the path were as bright as day, and the flowers on either side looked beautiful to Song Luokui, with dewdrops glistening on them.
As they walked, Song Luokui gradually began to suspect something. She glanced at Chi Yu, then looked ahead, then up at Chi Yu again.
Chi Yu noticed and asked, "What is it?"
Song Luokui started, "You..." but then lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Chi Yu's hand tightened, "We're almost there."
Song Luokui continued walking with him. Suddenly, a large screen appeared in front of them, displaying photos of the two of them. Even childhood photos had been edited to show them together, chronicling their journey from youth to adulthood.
Song Luokui watched for a moment, then suddenly heard a series of "boom boom boom" sounds coming from ahead. It was fireworks, grand and beautiful, even forming shapes—heart shapes, to be precise.
At that moment, Chi Yu dropped to one knee and pulled out a ring box from his pocket, opening it. "Darling, will you marry me?"
The diamond on the ring inside the box was enormous and dazzling, almost blinding Song Luokui. She had actually guessed what was coming earlier, but now that the moment had truly arrived, she found herself at a loss for words. The crowd hiding nearby held their breath in anticipation.
Chi Yu's hand trembled slightly. Seeing her lack of response, his heart began to race even faster. "Will you marry me?" he asked again, his voice filled with hope and nervousness.
